@ChrisGloninger I think this is the wrong platform. Twitter has become too hostile for science and the reality we live in.

Atmospheric scientist here. Let me tell you what was actually "slashed" today. Slashed: The Endangerment Finding — a 200-page scientific review upheld by the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and reaffirmed by the National Academies of Sciences in 2025. Slashed: The legal authority to regulate carbon from cars, power plants, and factories. All of it. Gone in one afternoon. Now here's what you're "saving": Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon — the largest energy consumer on Earth — to buy coal electricity. Coal costs $69–$169/MWh. Wind costs $27–$53/MWh. Solar costs $38–$78/MWh. 99% of U.S. coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with brand-new solar or wind. That's your tax dollars buying the most expensive electricity on the market. By executive order. While the Peabody Energy CEO stood in the room. And the human cost of what you're "saving"? 460,000 American deaths linked to coal pollution in 20 years. Coal PM2.5 is 2.1x deadlier than other air pollution. (Henneman et al., Science, 2023) All to protect an industry that employs 44,000 people total. Clean energy employs 3.5 million.

Fascinating paper just published in Science. The authors analyze the career trajectories of top performers across multiple domains, including Nobel laureates, elite chess players, Olympic gold medalists, and more. Their central finding challenges a common belief. Intensive, single-discipline training at a young age does confer an early advantage, but this advantage fades over time. By contrast, individuals exposed to multidisciplinary practice early in life tend to start more slowly. Yet, over the long run, they are more likely to reach world-class performance, eventually overtaking early specialists, who often plateau just below the very top. An important reminder that breadth early on can be a powerful investment in long-term excellence. Link to the paper in the first reply.

We’re moving our communication away from X! After 15 years, it’s time to continue the conversation somewhere new. This account will stay online as an archive – a little time capsule of science stories, discoveries… and to be honest, probably far too many posts about coffee! 😉

@gtconway3d Republicans play with fire here. If they go too much on defending Trump, this could backfire really ugly if new information will show him more implicated

Today we raised our voices for NASA. Nearly 300 space advocates from 38 states joined forces in Washington, D.C. to meet with Congress, stand with 20 science and education organizations, and demand protection for NASA’s future. 🚀 We mobilized to stop proposed 47% cuts to NASA’s science budget, defend dozens of missions at risk, and ensure America’s leadership in space continues and the world continues to benefit from NASA science. Thank you to everyone who joined us in D.C. and around the country for this Day of Action. We will not stop until we #savenasascience

@wannabefresh Musk went down the right wing conspiracy theorist rabbit hole. He is a great entrepreneur no question but he lost that “great leader” mark

My Top 5 leaders in the game right now: 1. Satoshi Nakamoto - $BTC 2. Elon Musk - $TSLA 3. Vlad Tenev - $HOOD 4. Alex Karp - $PLTR 5. Jensen Huang - $NVDA I mainly invest in individuals over assets. Same mindset I carry as an angel investor in startups or real estate and it’s served me well. A lesson I learned early on: Follow the crowd and you’ll miss it. Skip due diligence and you’ll get burned. Great companies are built by great leaders and that’s where the real edge is. Happy Monday Fam. 🫡

A part of me didn’t believe how hated conservatives were until this morning. I’ve never been one to flaunt my allegiance in public. But this morning, I put on a Freedom shirt. We’ve made two stops. At one, I was given nasty looks. At the other, a man was super nice to me when he sat at the table behind us at a restaurant. When he saw my shirt, he went out of his way to be rude to me in front of my child. I’m beyond disgusted. Want a reason to hate me? I am a Constitutional Conservative. I am a Christian. And I am not going to be silent anymore. I AM CHARLIE KIRK.
